When things go wrong
The pages within this section of our website provide advice and information on what you can do, and how the Embassy can help you, in case of difficulties or emergencies, such as illness, arrest or if you are the victim of a crime.
Austria has a relatively low crime rate and a highly developed medical and judicial system. Nevertheless, problems can and do occur and we therefore strongly advise you to check the information and tips in the "Travel advice" and "How to stay safe abroad" pages of this site.
